About This Item
Melbourne: Black Inc., 2013. Australian ed.. Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 310 pp. Internet pioneer and Harvard Kennedy School lecturer draws on 20 years of experience to explore the revolutionary consequences of internet technology. Our ability to connect instantly, constantly and globally is altering the exercise of power with dramatic speed. Governments, corporations, centres of knowledge and expertise are eroding before the power of the individual. It can be good in some cases, but it comes with a troubling downside. Unless we exercise deliberate moral choice over the design and use of technologies, we doom ourselves to a future that tramples human values, renders social structures chaotic and destroys rather than enhances freedom.
